    Cornerstone LMS - Great product!

    Reviewed on 18/11/2021

    Pros

    I like that CSOD is an integrated HRIS system. It has a great end-user experience and a nice interface.

    Cons

    Some of the file size limits are an issue. and some of the functionality does not work as one would assume. However, there are a lot of tools and resources to find ways to make the functionality work for your company.

    Great experience and great value for the product.

    Pros

    I love the integrated Cornerstone suite of products for ease of use with system management. We started with the implementation of Performance Management and it was so easy for our managers and employees to adopt, and we have recently moved over to Cornerstone LMS, which has been great.

    Cons

    Not much! It was a great value for a wonderful product. The implementation was a lot of work to coordinate internally for our company wide team, but it was worth it.

    Absolutely awful, once you sign that contract no one responds to you in a timeline manner. You get a lot of "that is how the system is built, can't help you" answers. They have a great sales team and awful everything else.

    Pros

    Not a lot to be honest. If you have to pick something, it would be their reporting 2.0 tool. When it doesn't freeze or error out, it is simple to use.

    Cons

    Where to start? Here are just a few highlights:
    - The worst customer service I'd ever experience working with a vendor.

    - They take days to reply to emails, same for technical support tickets, even when they are labeled as a high priority.

    - When you call the support line, their reps are customer service agents who are just reading the same outdated info you find on their documentation online, so useless.

    -If you need to escalate the issue, prepare to wait 2 days for a reply, the first reply will always be a question about something you already explained on the initial ticket. Then you'll be waiting at least another 48 hrs for an update on their "investigation."

    - Their compatibility with iPads has become very bad. Since 13.1 came out, we've had nothing but problems with files not loading, 404 errors, server errors, and to make matter worse, expect to wait a week or more to be told, there is nothing they can do.

    - If you have to set permissions at different levels, good luck figuring out how the hundreds of individual permissions interconnect and how they are dependent on each other. Their own training team can't help you with this area. So if you plan to create any custom permissions that fall outside the few standard positions they have already created, good luck, prepare to spend weeks testing settings.

    - They refused a 1-year extension and said that they wouldn't consider anything less than 2 and that there would be a significant price increase for less than 3.

    Overall one of the best systems in the market.
    Will handle almost any use case and most of every org learning needs.

    Pros

    Very robust
    Greate with automation
    Greate for compliance tracking
    Flexible for admins to configure

    Cons

    Usability issues for end-user sometimes (too many clicks to get to the learning)
    Lack of some key features like Vimeo, MP3, and HTML learning item types.

    So far, my overall experience with Cornerstone has been great. From my side focusing on learning, we've really be working on getting over the hurdle of getting learners to take trainings that aren't required of them. This tool (and playlists + learner home) have really helped us accomplish this.

    Pros

    The thing that I like most about the software is how easy it is to learn, and pick up on. When I came into this role, I had no prior cornerstone or LMS experience, but it was super easy for me to learn and navigate. Highly recommend Cornerstone to those who are looking for a new provider.

    Cons

    There really isn't anything that sticks out that I like least about the software. Their support model can be tricky to deal with from time to time, but that's about it honestly.

    Alternatives Considered

    SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

    Reasons for Choosing Cornerstone LMS

    Not quite sure, wasn't with the firm at that time.

    Reasons for Switching to Cornerstone LMS

    The major reason that we chose Cornerstone in the end was because they were a slightly smaller company than SuccessFactors, and we really felt that we could have an impact with some of our suggestions and changes to their future enhancements.
